Just minutes from Scottsdale, Desert Dog Offroad takes you on a one-of-a-kind sunset adventure in the Sonoran Desert. For more than 27 years, we’ve been Scottsdale’s longest-running off-road tour company, and our guided ATV/UTV U-Drive buggy tours in the Tonto National Forest are the perfect way to end your day in Arizona.
Your adventure begins as the sun begins to fall behind the mountains, filling the desert sky with golden and fiery hues. Behind the wheel of your own ATV/UTV sand buggy, you’ll follow our expert guides across the winding desert trails. Along the way, our local guides share stories about the plants, wildlife, and secrets of the evening desert, making this more than just a ride—it’s an authentic Arizona experience.
At the midway point, we’ll stop for water and snacks (provided), giving everyone a chance to swap drivers and soak up the stunning desert views.

5.00This scenic desert tour was great! The tour was supposed to be at sunset, but the time got switched to earlier in the day. I was a bit bummed, but it turned out just fine! Our tour guide, Don, was knowledgeable about everything desert, Scottsdale, and the surrounding area! We stopped about half way through and got a chance to take some amazing photos. A little pricey, but well worth the splurge in my opinion! I would highly recommend!
Amazing desert sunset UTV tour!
